Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. - Psalm 51:10 We live in such a crazy, self-indulgent society. It is so easy to walk in the flesh and forgo our spirits. It is so easy to watch those bad shows, read those tantalizingly sinful books, and listen to some juicy gossip. Unfortunately, that is not good for our walk, testimony; or beneficial to our calling. We have been dealing with "self" since the beginning of time, and David understood this weakness. He was very familiar with ignoring what was right and giving into his flesh. His cry was one that we each face when we find ourselves in the muck of the sad results of our poor choices. Create in me a CLEAN heart, O, God... Yes, help us, Lord. Help us to walk in the spirit and not gratify the lusts of the flesh! Renew a loyal spirit within me. Yes, Lord. Help us to be loyal and steadfast in our walks. Help us to be a light in this dark and sinful world! I hope that you will read this passage in … [Read more...]
A Priceless Treasure
Your Word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. - Psalm 119:105 His Word really is all we need. No amount of money, fame, possessions, fun, wonders for the eyes, or even relationships can compare to what God's Word is. It is our life line. It is a love letter from our King. It is our guide for life on planet earth. It is healing for our weary souls. It is our comfort and peace. It is the light for our path, and the only way to find the right direction. And SO MUCH more! Let's read it every day, because honestly, nothing is more important. Nothing. Let’s Pray: Father God, thank You for Your Word, and the life within its pages. Thank You for leaving me a piece of You. Thank You for leaving me a guide for my life. Help me to crave it. Help me to read it, learn it, and bury it deep in my heart. I love You and Your Word, Lord. Thank You for the love letter that You left me, and the priceless treasure that it is for my life! You are amazing and wonderful, … [Read more...]
Polluted
Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring is a righteous man who yields, falls down, and compromises his integrity before the wicked. - Proverbs 25:26 The choices we make as mothers will not only affect the lives of our children, they will also cause us to be polluted if we are making poor choices in life. Our testimony will be destroyed. We will cause our children and those within our sphere of influence to possibly stumble, lose hope, or even harm their spiritual walk. This may seem melodramatic... maybe it is. However, I really do not think so. I truly believe that the influence we hold over our children is far greater than we could ever imagine. We cannot bow to the ways of this world! We must stand up for truth and righteousness! We must not allow our hearts and minds to become polluted with this world and its sinful passions and wayward ideals. Let’s Pray: Father God, thank You for Your Word--even the meaty portions that I sometimes find harder to swallow. Thank You … [Read more...]
